A5 mods!! plz help

Hello everyone i recently bought a a5 with a response trigger, i love the gun but accuracy at 30 yards leave much to be desired, i havnt moded anything on this gun as of yet but i was hoping yall could point me in the right direction to get more accuracy and some kewl mods.

 

i was thinking of using a expansion chamber that looks like a magazine and get a nice shorud to mock a RL gun, also should i ditch the RT and get a Egrip ? could you give me the pros and cons of each still kinda green when it comes to paintballing. also what would be best< compressed air, Co2 or nitrous ? and whats the best ammo for these weps  Thanks for your response

Sweet ty judge for the reply, where i live we dont have a big following of this sport so its hard to get the right info.

I have been using Co2, but after a decent burst of paint i would notice there would be a prty hazy cloud of Co2 coming from the barrel and it seemed from the trigger area, so i think that a expansion chamber would help me with that.

when it comes to barrel upgrade, i have narrowed it down to 2 barrels of course the Flatline is always on my mind and the other is a Apex with the adjuster on the end, anyone know what barrel is more accurate, we play in the woods so accuracy pwns volume, also we only use 30 round hoppers to gain more realism so im looking for accuracy

has anyone used the shrouds from Ops gear ? i was thinking of using this shroud http://www.opsgear.com/416-Shroud-for-Tippmann-A5-p/og-shrou d-416-a5.htm but it doesnt look like it will fit a Flatline barrel anyone have anyidea if it will ?

one of the reasons i was gonna ditch the RT for the Egrip was i was thinking it was using alot of air but from reading some post on the forum, some people say this is not true any input i dont mind a 9v battery for the Egrip

the rt doest use any more air because it is using the excess air to drive it.  as for the apex vs flatline, neither are super accurate.  the apex is prefered by most simply because you can turn off the effect which can then give you accuracy and its not as picky on paint.  when it somes to those distaces though alot of factors come into play because of the trajectory and the spin on the ball mixed with the wind and the surroundings.  it gets complex to say the least lol.  for this reason if you really want accuracy and distance but you dont mind only having one at a time i would recommend the J&J with apex adaptor or the Lapco Bigshot that is apex ready.  even if you dont get the apex right away i would still recommend the J&J or lapco for accuracy.  i personally prefer J&J but that is because they are quieter and can shoot through a break a little easier.  it all comes to preference on that one.  Also if you are def sticking with co2 for now i would recommend the palmers stabilizer over an expansion chamber.  with a little work you could probably even fit a mg over it.  te stabilizer gives much better performance over the expansion chamber though and can be used with HPA if you ever decide to upgrade to it.

*edit* that shroud will not fit the flatline but i do like that shroud.

the only mod i have done to the internals on the cyclone is the JCS JetClick ratchet upgrade.  it wasnt necessay sinc my old one never broke, i just changed it out to be on the safe side.  anothe mod for the internals is polishing the internals of the receiver halves.  this is an easy and basically free mod and there are lots of instructions on here of how to do it.  it also isnt necessary but can help a little.
